Hi All

I have decided to convert some of my old LPs onto CD. Yes I could go and
buy these CDs, and yes I could illegally download MP3 versions too. But
I don't want to do either of these.

I have my old RP3 connected (via Nait amp) to the input of my Sony
camcorder. This then allows me to capture the audio via firewire,
possibly better quality than my PC's onboard sound input.
Probably not, but I don't know what your PC's onboard sound is like.

Sort of related, have you got any opinion of the Mac Mini's audio inputs:

http://www.apple.com/uk/macmini/

I'm going to use one as a music/video server. I'd also like it to record
analogue things.

I do nothing with Macs. However the basic sound on Macs has been more
predictably better than on contemporaneous PCs. PC on-board sound can range
from very poor to pretty much OK for consumer use.



Ta - my new Intel iMac sounds pretty good through the built in speakers,
and it's got various audio in/outs but I can't be bothered to lug it
about the house. I find the 'old' Mini's analogue (G4) out to be a
little 'flat' compared to the posh Creative soundcard on the PC. The
newer ones have digital out so I'd use that for playback. IIRC digital
in is a little trickier - my AV amp doesn't do A-D (could have that
wrong). Whatever, when/if I'll let the world know.
